Hulk Hogan Has Been Fired From the WWE and Will Not Appear in WWE 2K16

Are they erasing all his history in the company as well?

This is not a test.

This is great news!

Good, how someone can be racist makes no sense. It's like little kids arguing about their favorite color. Ridiculous.

If we learn of how hogan used his racism at work or outside of work to harm people then its justifiable, erase him completely. But if he is a racist in his own home around his friends, then i could care less. I lost respect for the man nonetheless and its hard to justify defending what he said if he called himself a racist. I would love to have a true an open discussion with him on why and other racist,sexist,homophobe and whatnot. He wasn't born a racist, his surroundings and experiences made him that way. But you eventually grow up and realize the world is never black and white but grey. You learn empathy. I hope he comes out of this a better man.

This is absolutely tragic man

I hope black people and sponsors can find the room to forgive him.
If you know anything about Hogan he talks a lot of nonsense ask
him something about a topic and he will give you 5 different answers.

Since he was going through a dark time in his life at the time he
was probably going through a bitter phase. Looking at his history
and his numerous black friends I have a hard time believing he
truly is racist.

As for the game its gonna suck that the biggest roster ever won't feature
the guy who started it all.

The N word should never be used by anybody period. That goes for black people using it towards black people as that's not right either. It's offensive so there can be no excuse for it's use in any manner. Since were abolishing things why not start with songs in the music industry as there is some of the most offensive use of the N word there. Look I'm not about going on a witch hunt but if your going to target Hogan then you have to look at everything. You can't pick & choose when the word is offensive or not to suit someones situation. It's a bad word all around so it should be treated as such.

The irony of Vince McMahon firing someone for being racist amuses me to no end.

LOL. "Ban the music industry".

Look, lets not complicate this. If I was caught on tape calling special needs people "******s" or Chinese people "chinks" and the news identified me as "Discovery Channel (where I work) employee Aaron Holbert".....I would be fired the next day.

Period. And so would most of you.

Hogan represents the WWE. He is perhaps the most famous wrestler in the world. When he is identified he is called "WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan"

So when a video leaks of him admitting that he is racist and calling multiple black people "******s"...the WWE has to distance the company from him. Especially given the WWE's poor history when it comes to race (See Akeem, Slick and a bunch of other black characters).
